Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 181,855, dated September 5, 1876 application filed July 11, 1876.

' tion:

My invention consists in arranging a setscrew or cam in the finger-lever of a rifle, in such a position as to engage with the back of the trigger, and set the set-trigger when the finger-lever is moved up or down.

Referring to the drawing, which is a side elevation, A is a finger-lever, which is pivoted to the look at a, in the usual manner. B is the trigger, and U the set-trigger. D is a milled bead-screw, which runs through the finger-lever to a pointnear the trigger, and is capable of moving the trigger suificiently to set the set-trigger 0, when the finger-lever A is moved either away from, or toward the riflestoc'k. b is a jam-nut placed on the screw D, that bears on the finger-lever A, to prevent and described.
